Optimal Temperature: Maintain a temperature range of 18°C to 25°C. Shield the plant from drafts and direct sources of heat like radiators, as they can excessively dry out the orchid.
Watering Techniques: Orchid roots are sensitive. While dehydration can damage them, overwatering might cause root rot. For effective watering:
Detach the pot and immerse the plant in tepid water for 10 minutes.
Drain and replace the orchid in its pot.
Employ room-temperature water to prevent root shock.
Once monthly, consider a diluted liquid fertilizer.
In warm weather, mist the foliage, ensuring no water accumulates to avoid rot.
Disease Prevention: If you notice gray rot on flowers or black spots on the plant, it indicates disease. Promptly remove the affected areas to prevent further contamination.
By diligently following these steps and providing optimal care, your wilted orchid can spring back, bearing blossoms that’ll enchant you once again.
